Work on ScienceChats.com
Network May 27th, 2007I have to say that I really am quite disappointed in myself for not working on ScienceChats.com. With a mix of laziness and being busy with other websites and my studies, I was unable to get to work on it. But, now I am getting back into it. If you remember my post about growing a forum, you’ll see that I mentioned that posting new threads often is extremely important. Well…For about a month, I hadn’t really posted any new threads, but that changed today. I began to post quite a bit of them, trying to find as much as I could in my head to post.
I think that is the hardest part about running the forum. Since I have not encountered many science classes, I don’t have as many questions that I should. Naturally, I make up some questions just to get threads, but I am sometimes stumped. That’s the hardest part right now for me to make the forum bigger. My mind can only think up so many questions for threads and I am stuck trying to find new things to write about on the forum. If I had some other people posting threads, I know that I would have an easier time. Ah well…
I do have a small idea on how I can populate a new ’section’ of the forum, but that won’t appear yet. It’ll either appear in the next two days or it won’t appear until August. I am not too sure how I want to implement it, but we will see. I guess the biggest thing that I need to focus on now is trying to get more threads started and the current threads filled with more posts. If anyone has any ideas on how I can get more threads on the site, please leave some ideas. I’m always willing to bounce ideas off with people. I really appreciate it.
It takes a lot out of me to write these blog posts. Buy me a beer to cool me off!

Haha! That’s the point, Ramon. The way to get passed those is to post. It was highly recommended by different people and I hope that it’ll bring people back to start posting again. :-p

What did I tell you about forums… they’re hard as hell! But well worth it down the road if you can just hang in there. You’re off to a solid start and will reap the rewards if you keep it up.

Yeah, yeah, David, I know. I was the one that told you I was retiring from forums, remember? Back when I sold AdviceThread to my friend. Guess I can’t help but want to own one.
